Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

The atmosphere in the Wei Palace was solemn.

The former King Zhao lowered his head and led his relatives into the hall. Their steps were heavy and slow.

Everyone's face was full of loss and helplessness, and the pride and dignity they once had were gone at this moment.

This former king and royal family lost most of their rights after the fall of the country. Like a bird that has lost its wings, it no longer has the power to fly.

Their footsteps echoed in the empty hall, which seemed particularly harsh.

Emperor Chengxiang of the State of Zhao had a humble attitude and knelt down in the hall very wisely: "The king of the country's subjugation has met the King of Wei."

Immediately after him, the clan members of King Zhao's royal family also knelt down and worshiped, and the voices of the mountain people came one after another.

While talking, their heads were hung very low, and they did not even dare to look at Zhao Hongming.

A golden dragon chair stood high in the center of the hall, and Emperor Zhao Hongming of Wei State sat on it. His eyes were deep and sharp, making Emperor Zhao Chengxiang seem to be under great pressure.

In the main hall, King Zhao took a deep breath, held up the jade seal of the State of Zhao with both hands, and said in a trembling but firm voice: "Your Majesty, King Wei, the guilty minister has come to surrender on behalf of the royal family of the King of Zhao. I am willing to offer the jade seal of the State of Zhao as a token of my gratitude. Sincerity.”

The jade seal exudes soft light in the hands of King Zhao. It is the symbol of Zhao State and represents the highest power of Zhao State.

Holding the jade seal, Zhao Guocheng, Emperor Xiang, felt the bitterness and helplessness in his heart at this moment, which is difficult to express in words.

In fact, not only him, but also the Zhao royal family behind him couldn't help but feel a little commotion when they heard the word "surrender".

Their eyes were filled with reluctance and fear.

The State of Zhao, which had been passed down for nearly two hundred years, was completely destroyed at this moment, leaving them with no face to see their ancestors after their death.

Zhao Hongming looked at King Zhao kneeling below, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "King Zhao, do you know your guilt?"

There was a sadness in the voice of Emperor Chengxiang of Zhao State: "The guilty minister knows his crime. The defeat of Zhao is due to the guilty minister's incompetence. The guilty minister is willing to accept any punishment. I only hope that His Majesty the Wei Dynasty can spare my life."

After a while, Zhao Hongming slowly spoke: "King Zhao, although you are defeated, I still see your courage and responsibility. I don't have to kill you, and I can even still respect you as King Zhao. But you Remember, from now on, you and your relatives will be imprisoned in Daliang City and will not be able to come or go freely."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxiang of Zhao State felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.

He was grateful to Zhao Hongming for not killing him, but also felt sad for the fate of himself and his relatives. But he knew that at this moment he had no choice but to accept the result.

"The guilty minister thanks your majesty for your kindness." King Zhao kowtowed deeply and said, "From now on, the guilty minister must stay in peace and keep to himself."

"Okay!" A smile appeared on Zhao Hongming's face.

At this moment, someone in the Zhao family behind King Zhao raised his head, stood up suddenly, and glared angrily at Zhao Hongming who was sitting on the dragon throne: "What crime did I, Mrs. Zhao, have to be treated like this by you, Zhao Hongming?" ?”

When he heard someone from the clan standing behind him, Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang turned pale with fright and broke out in cold sweat all over his body.

The other sect leaders behind him hurriedly stepped forward to grab the middle-aged man who was speaking: "Zong Zheng, please stop saying a few words. This is the main hall of the Wei Kingdom, so we can't be presumptuous!"

The royal family leader of the Zhao Kingdom stood like a stone pillar standing upright from the sky or a nail embedded in the ground.

No matter how much people around him pull or press, he remains unyielding.

Zhao Hongming's face slowly turned cold when he saw this scene.

"You ask me, what crime do you have?" Zhao Hongming stood up from the dragon chair and laughed loudly: "I will tell you, weakness is a crime."

"Your Zhao State has been completely defeated under the iron heel of my Wei State. In this world, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. You cannot resist my attack, so you can only accept this fate."

Zong Zheng's face turned red and he was speechless for a moment. He knew that what Zhao Hongming said was the truth.

Their Zhao State has indeed been defeated, completely defeated. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

After Zhao Hongming finished speaking, he did not say any more words and looked silently at Emperor Zhao Chengxiang and his relatives below.

The atmosphere in the hall became more oppressive and tense.

King Zhao trembled all over, his voice was obviously trembling, and he said quickly: "The guilty minister knows the crime, and the guilty minister is willing to serve your majesty. I only ask that your majesty spare the lives of the guilty minister and his relatives."

His tone was full of pleading and fear, and he didn't look like a king.

Zhao Guozong suddenly burst out laughing, his expression becoming more and more crazier.

"It's a crime to be weak. I am ashamed of myself, the first king of the Zhao Kingdom, and I should die to express my will."

After saying that, Zongzheng, the royal family of Zhao Kingdom, suddenly rushed out from the crowd and hit a pillar in the hall, hoping to hit the pillar and die.

However, just when he was about to hit the pillar with all his strength, he found that his whole body was blocked by a powerful force.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't move forward even half an inch.

"King Wei, what do you mean? Don't you want me to die even if I die?" Zhao Guozong was roaring.

Zhao Hongming said coldly: "What do you think of my Qianqing Palace? Is it Caishikou? You can die if you want?"

"let me go!"

Zhao Guozong was struggling continuously, but a hint of cunning flashed across his face.

Since ancient times, those who have demonstrated their ambition through death have been sought after by emperors in various countries and are considered loyal people.

After many deaths, they were treated as guests by the emperor of the enemy country because of their actions of observing the festival.

If he does this, he might still be able to survive.

Zhao Hongming narrowed his eyes and said: "Zong Zheng of Zhao State is truly loyal and loyal, which is impressive."

Hearing this, Zong Zheng, the royal family of Zhao Kingdom, suddenly lit up.

Have a show?

"Hmph, don't mess with my mind, I'm determined to die!"

Zhao Hongming raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Since you want to die so much, I will help you! Someone come!"

Hurala!

Suddenly, a group of guards rushed in from outside the palace.

"Take this lord out of the vegetable market outside the palace and execute him in Ling Chi to fulfill his ambition!"

"As ordered!"

The palace guards responded uniformly.

Zhao Guozong suddenly became stunned and was forcefully dragged down by the guards.

After dealing with Zong Zheng of Zhao State.

Gao Yanshi on the side understood and took out the jade seal from the hand of Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang. After confirming that there was no problem, he presented it to Zhao Hongming.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Hongming took Zhao Guo's jade seal in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This jade seal passed down by the State of Zhao is the most precious treasure of the State of Zhao. It symbolizes the supremacy of royal power and is also the only magic weapon to control the formation of the palace in the capital of the State of Zhao.

This square jade seal is carved from a single piece of rare and beautiful jade. It has a warm and moist color, as transparent as gelatin, and contains the essence and aura of heaven and earth.

It is square in shape with rounded corners and a smooth surface, just like a mirror that reflects the face of the person holding the seal.

On the jade seal, there are exquisite dragon patterns and cloud patterns carved with smooth and delicate lines.

If you look carefully, you can see that each dragon is rolling over the sea of ​​clouds on the seal, ready to come out.

In the center of the seal, there are six characters "National Treasure of the State of Zhao" engraved. The font is simple and elegant, the writing is powerful and powerful, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

When Zhao Hongming held it in his hand and used his true meaning a little, the jade seal would emit a faint light, like the blessing of a god, which was indeed something extraordinary.

Emperor Chengxiang of Zhao State presented together, in addition to this jade seal handed down from the country, there was also a method for refining this jade seal.

It can be seen that this jade seal of the State of Zhao is somewhat similar to the jade seals of the Wei State and South Korea. They seem to be made of the same jade quality.

It made him think more. Zhao Hongming signaled the guards to take King Zhao and his relatives down.

Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang did not dare to resist with the support of his relatives and slowly left the hall. Their figures looked particularly desolate and lonely in the residual light at the palace door.

After a while, Zhao Hongming used the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts panel to master the refining method of the national jade seal passed down by Zhao Guo.

But when he planned to formally refine the jade seal of Zhao Guochuan, he suddenly stopped.

Zhao Hongming said: "Eunuch Gao, you found that the body of the first king of Zhao was also well preserved?"

Gao Yanshi, who was named, hurriedly replied: "Reporting to your majesty, it is indeed true. The body of the first king of Zhao has been kept in the ancestral temple. There is no damage to the body, just as if he had just died."

Zhao Hongming sat on the dragon chair again and fell into deep thought.

This was true for Wei, South Korea, and now Zhao.

Maybe the following royal families of Qi and Chu would be like this, retaining the bodies of the first kings.

I'm afraid there is another hidden meaning in this.

The first king who founded the Six Kingdoms was a martial artist with superb martial arts. He was born with profound cultivation and a long life.

The fate of the country will limit the martial arts cultivation of the first kings, and even cause their cultivation to decline.

Looking at it this way, being the king of a country is an extremely loss-making business.

There must be some secret that he doesn't know about.

Otherwise, no one would want to do this.

And this reward was worth giving up all his martial arts skills.

And what kind of reward can be worth such a price?

After much deliberation, Zhao Hongming came up with only one option—immortality.

"Is this coming back from the dead?"

Zhao Hongming muttered to himself and made random guesses.

He placed his hand on the jade seal passed down from Zhao State and kept stroking it back and forth.

After a long time, he finally gave up the urge to refine this national jade seal now.

"It doesn't seem appropriate now. It's best to wait until you are stronger."

Zhao Hongming glanced at his [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts panel and couldn't help but smile a little.

[Name: Zhao Hongming]

After more than two years of hard training, he was finally able to make a further breakthrough.

Zhao Hongming put away his thoughts and thought of Han Wangan who was imprisoned in Daliang and came to pay his respects.

"Let Han Wangan come in too."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Under the summons, Han Wangan, who had been imprisoned in Daliang, walked into the hall: "I have met your Majesty, guilty minister."

"King Han, are you still used to your time in Daliang?"

King Ancheng of Han said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to hear that my life in Daliang is very good. It's far better than what I had in my homeland."

"Oh, really? I heard that you often invite Korean singers to listen to Korean songs while also asking about current affairs in the world. Do you have other ideas?"

Zhao Hongming's voice was not loud, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

King Han didn't even dare to say anything. He just kowtowed repeatedly, as if his forehead would be broken every time to show his sincerity and fear.

Looking at their appearance, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

There are still two countries, Chu and Qi, that have not yet been conquered. These people still have some value. Otherwise, he would have killed them all long ago.

After Chu and Qi were captured by the Wei Dynasty, it was the end of their lives.

"Okay, I'm just talking casually."

The King of Han, as if he had been granted amnesty, kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

He just wants to save his life at this moment, even if he becomes a prisoner.

"However, you have to remember." Zhao Hongming's voice sounded again: "You are now a guest of Wei State. If you dare to do anything evil, I will make you live and die."

King Han trembled all over, and the fear in his heart became even worse.

They knew that they had completely fallen into the hands of Zhao Hongming, and their life and death depended only on the other person's thoughts.

Han Wangan responded repeatedly.

After greetings for a while, Han Wangan was led out of the hall by the guards, surrounded by guards like a bereaved dog.

Zhao Hongming handed Zhao Guo's imperial seal to Gao Yanshi and ordered him to keep it safe while he went into the practice room.

As soon as he entered the practice room, Zhao Hongming sat cross-legged.

His mind suddenly moved, and a thought came into his mind: "God rewards hard work, breakthrough!"

boom!

Suddenly, Zhao Hongming's body trembled.

A powerful force descended on him, a strong aura filled the training room, the air became hot, and countless lightning flashed around him.

It was as if he was tempering his body.

Zhao Hongming sat cross-legged, his eyes closed tightly, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint blue light.

His breath rose and fell like a stormy wave.

Suddenly, the light around him instantly converged into his body, and he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst with light, as if two sharp swords were piercing the air.

Some kind of shackles were suddenly broken in an instant.

Zhao Hongming glanced at the martial arts panel of [Tiandao Rewards Qin], and the information on it had changed.

"I finally broke through to the second level of Creation!"

Zhao Hongming was very excited.

He could feel every cell in his body cheering for joy, as if he had been reborn.

Suddenly, his physical strength increased again.

The skin on the whole body is like jade, the muscles and bones are like steel, and the whole body is full of explosive power.

Zhao Hongming stretched his muscles and bones, and there was an explosion like exploding beans, and he could feel the surging force inside his body. (End of chapter)
